[QUOTE="The Green Wanderer, post: 125772, member: 784"] Having another person to snatch you out is the best option, however if you got into that situation on your own then it would be best to go forward if you can then do a three pointer and go back the way you came. If there was something preventing you going forward and reverse was the only way then you could as you said have a winch mounted to a trailer hitch receiver for emergency. Or use a jack and a duckboard to get traction or a maxtrax or similar. You could reduce tyre pressure to gain more traction. Last resort would be to use a high lift jack and a tow strap to manually winch it free however this is pretty dangerous as it puts extreme strain on equipment, if any parts were fatigued from age they could potentially fail with possible fatal results. All in all its best to have another 4wd for safety. My two cents there, TGW. [/QUOTE]
